...peasant, Edward Chamberlain is sometimes interesting, and Royall Tyler, as his son, is similar but a bit more awkward. On the other hand, Lillian Aylward, as Chamberlain's God-fearing wife, uses forth-right gestures and voice to create a strong characterization. As Oona, Cathleen's foster-mother, Gail Kepner shows perfectly adequate control of a dull part, but her attention, understandably, often wanders away from it. Liam Clancy, who looks like a feckless young Irish poet, plays one, but with mere wistful lyricism; his voice lacks distinction as much as his spirit lacks life. Finally, the two devils, despite...

The Air Force had long had to beg Congress for its Alaskan housing money. Now costs...
Last spring, Ike Eisenhower told Congress that Alaskan defenses were in no shape to meet the potentialities of war. Kepner, for all of his awareness of what his command lacks, professes not to be so gloomy. "If the enemy invades, we'll hand him quite a jolt," he says laconically...
